Okay folks, spend my money. What are your favorite camping chairs? Do you like ones with tables on the side? Rockers? How do they store? How many do you carry? Are they comfortable?
 
This has been my favorite, my back needs to lean back a little.


My wife likes the straight back version of the rocker. They do need regular lube on the shock parts or they will squeak, but very comfortable. I store mine in the bay next to the entry door, but this one folds up into a tube shape so will store easily almost anywhere. The straight back version only fold flat so needs more vertical space to store it.
 
We have Sports Chair both the stationary with table and the rocker style with no table . When we purchased the rocker style did not have tables, We recently purchased rocker style with table. They are great.
 
Road trip rocker also. I have 5, only carry what I need, no offspring this trip so only 2 chairs onboard
 
We primarily camp just the two of us however I do carry 4 chairs (2) rockers and (2) stationary chairs for casual visitors. I do not have or care to have any bag chairs LOL.
 
2 straight back’s that fold flat. Travel with them on top of 2 tubs in front “flip up” compartment.

Never have really cared much for rocking chairs.

Yup the most comfortable chair I have! A back packing chair that easily fits anywhere.
 
These are stupid expensive , but so comfortable- especially if you have any back issues. I have the trailhead, but prefer the Hondo.

Yup that’s the chair. Often seen at RV dealerships for over $100. I got mine at a CW (of all places) in Coburg Or for around $60. They were on sale and I went back for another and they were sold out. Mine is the soft arm version and has a cell phone pocket on one side, beverage holder on the other, and a shoulder strap on the chair which makes it easy to carry when toting other stuff. First pic is my new favorite chair. The second is my old rocker, which is a nice comfortable chair but a real pain to set up and store.

We like the kind that fold up and go into a bag. Woods and Outbound have proven to be good brands.

My current personal favorite was a Costco find, just after ARD watched me fall through my previous personal favorite (ALPS Mountaineering). It's a MAC Sports Heavy Duty Camp Chair - very similar to the YETI Trailhead.

Jeanette's new favorite is the MAC Sports MacRocker. VERY comfortable.

There are only two of us, so we carry two comfortable chairs, plus two more very compact things that don't take much space and will serve guests who don't have a chair. I must admit, those are pretty good motivation for guests to go chair shopping.
 
I have three; Newmar, two similar to Rich’s, one with table and one without (more comfortable),
 
My favorite folding chairs of some 40 years are still the wooden folding director's chairs. Only downside to me is they aren't meant to get wet. In case they do I have spare canvas seats and backs for them.

If I had a rocker with a table, nothing would ever stay on the table. :)
 
We have some similar to this Amazon. They are really compact in the basement.
 
We have a couple of these.

Had one that the stitching had some issues and the company replaced in short order.

Did that come with the truck?
 
We have three of the "original" style CGI rocker chairs that store on a shelf on the door side of the pass thru. We have two bag chairs and a contraption that I have to assemble for my bride if we are going to be in one spot for a few days. The contraption is kind of a hammock chair that is super comfy, but it takes a few minutes to set up. It and the bag chairs go on a shelf on the off door side pass thru.
